bartering and chance as a central themes, Ackermann
and Snow explore issues related to gender, community,
and celebration. Due to the astounding number of immediate responses, this event is now closed. Courtesy Dom

DRILL HALL
Luke Fischbeck invites guest musicians and audience
members to participate in Lucky Dragons, his communal
music experiment linking sound to video, dance, and
interactive technology. In Make a Baby, skin-to-skin
contact generates sound and visual material using a
system of conductive sensors activated by participants’
physical interactions. Fischbeck interprets these emissions
into a series of digital feedback loops and colorful
animated patterns. Organizing participants into small
groups, he creates pockets of self-generating sounds
and images, which together create a unified network of
human interaction.
